Signatures on emails when Right Clicking Office file

[Corey]

I have a signature setup with Outlook, and it works great c/w company logo
etc.

But i have noticed, if i Right click a Word Doc, PPT, Excel Workbook and
select SEND, I get the email format not in HTML.

I can change it to HTML and add my signature, but i get a white square with
a 'X' in the corner where the company logo SHOULD be.

Is there a way to correct this so that the format of the email is always
HTML, AND the signature displays the logo correctly?

I did notice that when i select the signature from the

Insert>more>Signature option instead of selecting >Insert>Signature i see a

preview of the signature, and it has the Logo displayed correctly.
But then when i select it, it does NOT display the logo.

Any idea's how to Fix?

This is because the Send To command only supports Plain Text initiates
Simple MAPI. Long technical story short; it only loads a stub of Outlook
this way which is also why your default settings are not respected. You'll
find that the Send To command will also add some default (warning) text of
its own.

No work arounds to get over this?

You could see it as a shortcoming of the Send To command but actually it is
designed this way to accommodate from pretty much every mail client that
might be set as the default.

The workaround would be to initiate a new email from Outlook and then drag
and drop the files from Explorer into the new email.

Another workaround would be to design your own Send To command which is
specific to Outlook. If you've got some programming skills, it might not be
too hard of a task.
